Will ‘Thalaivar 171’ be a part of the LCU? – Lokesh Kanagaraj’s exclusive answer

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is just four films old but he has already worked with the legends of Tamil cinema including Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan and Thalapathy Vijay. In his fifth movie ‘Leo’, he worked again with Vijay. Meanwhile, Loki is joining hands with Kollywood’s biggest star ever, Superstar Rajinikanth in his sixth project.

Tentatively called ‘Thalaivar 171’, Superstar Rajinikanth’s biggie with Lokesh Kanagaraj will be bankrolled by Sun Pictures and the movie will go on the floors next year. In the latest interview with Indiaglitz, Lokesh shared a big update regarding Thalaivar 171. He said, “I will show Rajini sir in my vision. Thalaivar 171 is a standalone film and not in LCU.”

The filmmaker assured us that it would be a terrific experimental film in Thalaivar’s career. Sources tell us that the upcoming project is going to be a mammoth multistarrer with big stars coming together from all over the country. Loki has planned to shoot some portions of Thalaivar 171 with an IMAX camera. Anirudh will be scoring music for the movie.
